But I&#39;m not so sure because he is now coming up for 94 and unfortunately he suffers from Alzheimer’s Disease. Having said that, there is every chance that he can still remember names from the thirties. It&#39;s just that he can&#39;t recall what he had for his dinner!<br /><br />Another bit of bad news is that he had a fall on Friday evening and is now in Tameside General with a broken hip.Bill Lancashirenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-56433431831557834782013-09-15T18:54:26.849+01:002013-09-15T18:54:26.849+01:00Hi Chris I think it was remove to St Georges... bu...Hi Chris I think it was remove to St Georges... but I have no idea if it is still there now.<br />Tomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-65098995918503581312013-09-15T17:58:31.706+01:002013-09-15T17:58:31.706+01:00I&#39;m a bit surprised they removed the memorial ...I&#39;m a bit surprised they removed the memorial to the fallen, I thought that would be a bit sacrilege.<br /><br />Do we know if it was destroyed or maybe they just moved it?Chris Hanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00935286905091099581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-55337213392574843092013-09-15T15:55:51.435+01:002013-09-15T15:55:51.435+01:00Werneth Low:

I&#39;d completely forgotten about Captain Clarke&#39;s bridge until I reached it and then saw that, just beyond, was a private road so turned the car round, parked up and walked down to the towpath to take photos. I looked across at the jungle where once the boathouse was and remembered that it had been there. And now today we have this post. Thank you so much. By the way, I never realised how mucky Woodend Lane is - my car looks like it&#39;s been driven through a ploughed field!Werneth Lownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-9018302861520187422013-09-15T09:57:13.452+01:002013-09-15T09:57:13.452+01:00This was the second boathouse of St.George&#39;s r...This was the second boathouse of St.George&#39;s rowing club, the first was on the Ashton Bros side of the canal near Throstle Bank.Captain Birdseyenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599481671908734427.post-32817801694924673572013-09-15T09:08:45.307+01:002013-09-15T09:08:45.307+01:00A wonderful bit of history.
